CONDEMNED ANARCHISTS.
An Interview with Jurge Miller
Regarding Them.

CHICAGO, September 20.-Justice
Samuel Miller, the United States Su-
preme Court Judge to whom, it is ru-
mored, the condemned anarchists
propose to present their case, was in
terviewed regarding the matter to-day.
"Such case," said he, lis usually
taken before one of the Justices, and,
as rule, before the Justice of the dis
trict. In this case Justice Harlan
should be seen. He is not in Chicago
now, but in Washington, where he
will be for some time.
"It is very rare, indeed, that the
Supreme Court ever touches case de-
cided by a State court. The anarchist
to get their cases before the Supreme
Court must prove that the constitu-
tional rights of the prisoners or the
federal laws, were broken in the trial. "
"Do you think that they were ?'
81 do not know"
''WOuld the fact that it is case of
national importance make any differ
ence in getting it before the Supreme
Court ?"
"No, only its consequences are of
more than national importance. l
consider the case the most important
tried in this country for years. These
fellows seem to have made Chicago
their headquarters. They have made
more friends here than anywhere else
in the country"
The Justice goes from Keokuk to
st. Louis where he holds court.

Slaln-Am Appeals
SAN Francisco, September 20.-
Congressman w. w. Morrow has for
warded to Secretary Bayard detailed
statement of the murder of Leon
Baldwin, the mining superintendent
who was killed recently by Mexican
bandits. Morrow also sends the fol-
lowing letter. at appears that Leon
Baldwin, of this city, while engaged
in peaceful and legitimate occupation
in the State of Durango, republic of
Mexico, was most foully murdered by
band of Mexicans, for no other
crime than that he was an American.
GOVERNMENT ATTENTION DESIRED.
These outrages on American citizens
are increasing in frequency and be-
coming more inhuman and barbarous
in character. l respectfully suggest
that our Government take decided and
effective measures to secure protection
for the life and property of American
citizens in Mexico. l commend the
case to the State Department, as one
that should receive careful attention
and demand redress from the Mexican
Government. The assassination of
Mr.. Baldwin has left his widow and
child without support. Their unfor-
tunate condition appeals very strongly
to the sympathies of our peol lie, and
l am sure | am representing the
wishes of all good citizens when ]
present this case to you with the re-
quest that it receive the immediate
and earnest attention of our Govern
ment."

A meeting of the Call Board creditors
Of William Dresbach and John Rosen-
field was held at the rooms OF the san
Francisco Chamber of Commerce this
afternoon. The chief object was to
get the creditors of Dresbach d Ko-

amount of their losses on wheat. u.
w. McNair, one of the largest credi-
tors refused to join issues with the
others in this proposed litigation. He
said that if he had suits to bring he
would bring them himself. There
was no unanimity among the others,
and no action was taken in the matter.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Charles CrOekcr Examined at
New York.

New YORK, September 20.-The
commission appointed to inquire into
Pacific railway matters, met in this
city this morning. Governor Pattison
presided. Besides Commissioners An
derson and Littler, there were also
present ex-Judge Dillon, counsel for
the commission, and A. A. Cohen,
counsel for the Central and Southern
Pacific railways.
CROKER CALLED.
Mr.. Crocker was the first witness
called, but no information of conse-
quence was cleaned from him regard
ing the books or contracts. Witness
thought that the money question at
issue could be settled best by confer
ence between a committee from the
board OF directors and this commits
sion.
Mr.. Littler asked what was the
ability of the company to pay its debt
to the government to-day and received
"none whatever" as an emphatic
answer.
Mr.. Crocker said that the company
intended to pay some day, but to do it
at present would ruin the property.
81 would suggest" remarked Mr..
Crocker, 'that the government to
which money is just now an OBJ
ject might give the road say 100 or $50
years in which to pay its debt"
THE GOVERNMENT TO BLAME.
Later he said that if the government
had given the Central Pacific the con-
tracts promised, the company would
have nearly paid its debt by this time.
Politics." insisted the witness, "are
at the root of all this trouble, and when
the road is out of politics it will
prosper"
NO UNDER-HAND WORK.
In reply to another question witness
said that there was never penny in
stock, bond or money offered to any
legislator to secure corrupt influence.
The government had saved some
$139, 900, 900 by the road, yet it would
not give it enough patronage to enable
it to pay it's debt, which could easily
have been done.

SAN FRANCISCO, september w.
Goodall. Perkins & Co. will soon con-
tract with Neafie & Levy, proprfetors
of the Pennsylvania iron works OF
Philadelphia, for the construction Of a
steel vessel to register 1000 tons. She

NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING.
Dillon Speaks on O'Brien,s Arrest
and it's Effects.


LIMERICK, September 20.-John Dill
lon presided at a great meeting held
in Limerick Town Hall to-day, under
the auspices of the National League
The hall was crowded. Dillon made
the speech of the day, and dwelt at
length on the case of Editor O'Brien.
Dillon said that O'Brien would doubt
less be condemned as felon, but if 20
he would have the sympathy of the
whole civilized world. The Govern
ment must not think that they could
crush the League by any such means
as those resorted to in the prosecution
OF O'Brien. Each arrest of that kind
would add but fresh courage and spirit
to the people of Ireland in their strug-
gle for home rule, and increase the
gulf OF separation between the land
lords and populace and put new fuel
into the fire now burning. The United
States of America, Dillon declared,
was now at the back of the great Irish
home rule movement.
